The Drive: How Flock Cameras Wrongly Tracked Me for Days Over ‘Stolen’ Plates and Sent Police After Me. “The Plymouth Police Department had been tracking me for days using Flock license plate cameras, waiting for the right moment to strike, because they thought I’d stolen the Range Rover. And the reason I was ID’d as a dangerous car thief was a simple data error made 2,000 miles away in […]

General question for the fediverse council...
What type of laser would be the best to completely destroy the optical sensor inside a flock camera while still leaving the flock camera standing and looking otherwise fine? Green red blue, wattage, etc?

Engadget: Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they’re spreading fast. “Although Flock cameras are often referred to as license plate readers, that’s reductive. Reading license plates is their primary task, but they can be used to track just about anyone or anything.”

Anyone know whether these are in Washington state? I haven’t seen them, but…perhaps we should drag Aurora Ave above 90th in Seattle?

Twenty Billion Scans a Month: Have We Already Lost the Farm?
The questions arrive together, the way dread arrives. Have we already lost the farm? Can anything already recorded be dissolved and unlinked from our names? Is every Bluetooth signal tied to us, every chip in every pet a beacon, every Flock camera quietly cataloguing the bodies that walk and drive past it? And if enough of those answers are yes, why are companies pouring concrete across the desert to raise data centers the size of small cities, and what is the end of it, to track, to prosecute, to imprison? I chased the documentation and let it correct me where I was wrong. Here is what holds up. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/06/27/twenty-billion-scans-a-month-have-we-already-lost-the-farm/

A city council in TX voted 3–2 to terminate their Flock contract.
One of the Flock fanboys went on a rant about cries of fascism being rhetoric.
He then proposed a “total ban on all cellular and GPS-capable devices for all operations within city limits” so they can “take Bandera back to 1880 properly.” 👀
